If you do not see the Adobe RGB option, select sRGB.

Select Display preview using monitor compensation, then click OK to return to the Epson Scan window.

Click Scan.

What happens next depends on how you started your scan. See Finishing the Scan for instructions.

Note:

You can also optimize the color accuracy of your images using a photo-editing application, such as Adobe Photoshop Elements. For help using Adobe Photoshop Elements, click the Help button in the software, see the software documentation, or see Other Software Technical Support.
